Mommy and Daddy Vacation Day #1

Well our Mommy and Daddy only vacation has started!  We arrived in Chicago around 5:30 this evening and I was beyond excited to see one of my best friends Kim and her husband Steve.  Kim and I became great friends when we were both new grads in the ER and went through residency classes together.  She was at our wedding, she was the first person I told I was pregnant with Liam after Bill, and I was very sad when they got transferred to Chicago last summer.  I couldn't wait to get off the plane to see her and her cute pregnant belly.  They are expecting their daughter in a couple of weeks.  Unfortunately, baggage claim took an eternity and I didn't think we would ever get out of the airport.

Once we finally met up with Kim and Steve, we all decided to get some Chicago deep dish pizza! When we were planning our trip, I told Bill one of my requests was to have real Chicago pizza.  We had a great dinner and grabbed some ice cream.

After dinner, we went back to Kim and Steve's to hang out and visit.  I loved catching up with her and seeing all the things they were getting ready for their baby.  Bill and Steve conversed on what else?....but football and sports.

Tomorrow we will drive to South Bend, Indiana to tour Notre Dame Campus and the Stadium.  Bill is so excited, he is like a kid getting to go to F.A.O Schwarz toy store in New York City!  And yes, I have called a couple times to check on the kids, they are doing great and I think the time away is harder for me than them.
